Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 141

[Chapter 141 Two Guests]

In Duncan’s perception, Fanna’s aura was approaching the antique shop quickly, and she was not moving straight forward, but often changed directions in the middle, and there were even abnormal pauses.

What is a judge who has lived in the upper city for a long time suddenly running to the antique shop in the lower city? And the trajectory of the action is so weird?

The moment the breath of the young deep-sea judge appeared in his perception, Duncan frowned slightly, and then subconsciously glanced at Shirley.

Could it be for Shirley? The Church of the Deep Sea finally discovered that there is a “summoner” who is walking with the deep demon hidden in the city? Or is it directed at yourself? But I am very careful in my daily actions, and there is absolutely no clue left that can point to the Lost Homeland, and if the sky is broken, the original identity of the Sun Cultist of this body will be exposed… Then it will not alarm a majestic judge, right?

The track that was approaching quickly and in a roundabout way is definitely not like just passing by in a leisurely stroll, but more like it has a strong purpose.

Thoughts in his heart fluctuated instantly, Duncan glanced at Nina who was reading next to him calmly, got up and walked towards the gate of the antique shop.

Shirley on the side noticed his actions, and followed subconsciously: “Mr. Duncan? What happened…”

“Stay in the store.” Duncan looked at Shirley, a guy who should be classified as a “heretical” no matter what. One glance, let her stay where she was, and then came to the door of the store, looking in the direction of the breath coming from her perception.

Then he knew why Fan Na’s breath approached so quickly –

she came by car.

A dark gray car driven by a steam engine creaked to a stop in front of the antique shop. The door opened and two people stepped out from above. One was Fan Na, who was still very tall despite wearing regular clothes, and the other was Ms. Heidi, a psychiatrist who had met once before.

Duncan: “…”

He reflected a little bit on the messy brain-filling behavior in his mind after he sensed a breath approaching quickly, and felt that he shouldn’t think about everything related to Chaofan so that the white clothes come and go like the wind. Now thinking about Fanna just now Those short pauses during the approaching process should be waiting for traffic lights…

Then he saw the lady psychiatrist beckoning to him in a spirited manner, and greeted him happily: “Mr. Duncan!” The

corners of Duncan’s mouth trembled, He knew that he was thinking too much when he saw Fan Na wearing a uniform, but he deliberately looked at the judge twice when he went up to meet her, and expressed his astonishment appropriately: “This is… “

“Ah, you must have recognized her. There is no one in this city who doesn’t know her—our venerable judge, Miss Vanna Wayne,” Heidi said with a three-pointed smile, “but today She’s on vacation, so let’s relax—she’s my friend, and after hearing about what happened in the museum, she insisted on coming over to thank her…” “

Friend?” Duncan was surprised this time with a sense of reality, This is indeed what he did not expect, “I really didn’t expect that you would bring such a big man…” “It’s

a bit too much to say ‘big man’, Mr. Duncan,” Fanna seemed to be calm from just now She looked at the antique store manager in front of her eyes, and then she smiled and spoke. Her voice was slightly hoarse and low, with a hint of magnetic texture – but for Duncan, this was not the first time he heard the voice of this lady judge. Voice, “Just treat me as an ordinary guest, just like what Heidi said, today I am on vacation-I am here today, mainly to thank you for saving Heidi in the museum, and to learn about some things by the way… …don’t worry, it’s not a formal inquiry.”

Know something?

The expression on Duncan’s face did not change, but he maintained his usual friendly smile. He turned sideways and greeted two special visitors to enter the store: “Then don’t stand at the door, please come in—it just so happens that the store is deserted today. Let’s have fun.”

He said as he walked towards the antique shop, and when he entered the door, he first saw Shirley who was poking her head and paying attention to the movement outside, and casually rubbed the girl’s hair: “Calm down later.”

Xue Li was taken aback for a moment: “Calm down…”

The next second, she knew why she had to calm down.

She saw the lady judge, who was at the pinnacle of force in the Puland city-state church, stepping in. The big sister who was over 1.9 meters tall walked in front of the short man who was less than 1.6 meters tall, bringing not only visual oppression.

Xue Li almost subconsciously said: “Wow…wow, you are so tall!”

Fan Na stopped subconsciously, glanced at the girl standing beside her with a strange expression on her face and tense muscles, and said friendly Nodding: “Hello.”

“Her name is Shirley,” Duncan said casually, “Helping in my store, she was also there when the accident happened in the museum before, Miss Heidi should have mentioned it to you.” “You

are Shirley?” Fan Na nodded, matching the description in her head with the real person in front of her, “She is indeed a cute little sister.” At this time, Nina, who was

reading a book by the counter, also heard the movement here After running over, the first thing she saw was the amazingly tall Fan Na. She recognized the famous Miss Judge, and at the same time she let out the same exclamation as Shirley.

“…that’s why I don’t like to go out with you,” Heidi, who was standing behind Fanna and hadn’t been noticed by Nina for a long time, finally couldn’t help but make a sound, “You will attract all the attention when you go there It’s over—I’m the protagonist today, okay?”

“But I don’t want to use this method to attract people’s attention.” Fan Na glanced at her friend expressionlessly, “I’ve tried my best today It looks a little more ordinary.”

“… Forget it, I’m used to it.” Heidi sighed, then greeted Nina and Shirley respectively, and then took out the door-to-door gift she was carrying and handed it to Duncan hands.

“I don’t know what you like, but you can’t visit empty-handed to thank you. My father asked me to pass it on to you. He said that someone like you who has extensive research and is interested in history and mysticism should like it.” this.”

“It’s too polite, it was just a matter of little effort at the time,” Duncan said politely, while reaching out to accept the gift brought by the other party. It was a wooden box that looked like it had been around for a long time. He opened the lid on the spot and saw Afterwards, I was a little confused about the things inside, “This is…”

It was a book, a beautifully bound and valuable book, which seemed to be a good thing that decent scholars in the upper city would keep at home. On the purple hard cover is a line of beautiful cursive letters:

“Cities and Gods”

“This is a book in my father’s collection, which is now difficult to find on the market-his author was a century ago. The great naturalist and theologian Mr. Maldino Victor,” Heidi said with a smile, “is a book describing the historical changes of the city-state era and the influence of various god beliefs, including the Four Orthodox Gods, on civilized society. Said that you should like things in this area.”

Duncan silently looked at the exquisite books in the box, and slowly smiled on his face.

“Of course, I really like it very much. Thank you, Mr. Morris, for my kindness.” After

some politeness and acquaintance, there were no customers today anyway, so Duncan simply closed the door of the antique shop, and then put the rather spacious The first floor was used as a place for receiving guests.

Nina went to move two chairs, Duncan made the best coffee in the store for two guests, Shirley pretended to tidy up the shelves, but actually found a corner to reduce her sense of presence, Fanna looked at it curiously In this seemingly ordinary shop, Heidi has already started to put her “medicine kit” on the counter with ease, and at the same time said to Nina: “Let’s get straight to the point, I heard that you have been Troubled by nightmares, and often in a trance?”

“Ah, it’s not actually a nightmare, it’s just a continuous strange dream…” Nina didn’t expect Miss Heidi to have such a resolute personality, she was stunned for a moment, and then she answered “It’s just that I always dream that I’m standing on a very high place, like a tower, and then I see that several blocks under my feet have been burned to ashes, but nothing terrible appears…”

“Stop,” Heidi made a gesture, and said casually while opening the medicine box, “The repeated scenes, heights, fires, there are no scary concrete things, but the frequent visits of the dream itself lead to mental fatigue that cannot be relieved… Let me have a look…”

Nina glanced at Heidi’s medicine box, and she saw the adzes, axes, saws and bottles and jars in it at first glance, and she shrank her neck immediately: “That…Heidi Miss… can I not treat it, in fact, I don’t think my condition is that bad…”

Duncan also saw the contents of Heidi’s medicine cabinet, and his eyebrows twitched: “Excuse me-this is really spiritual Do you need anything for treatment?”

Is this elegant and gentle lady doctor in front of me a psychiatrist or a veterinarian? !
